Manisha Ramadass' journey in 2024 Paris Paralympics 

Earlier, Manisha Ramadass won her quarter-final match in the SU5 category of para-badminton, securing a spot in an "all-Indian semi-final". The 19-year-old comfortably defeated Japan's Mamiko Toyoda with scores of 21-13, 21-16 in the quarter-finals to set up a high-octane semi-final clash against her compatriot Thulasimathi Murugesan.

On the other hand, Murugesan had qualified for semis of the women's singles para-badminton event on Saturday after defeating Portugal's Beatriz Monteiro 21-12, 21-8. 

Indian para shuttlers Mandeep Kaur and Palak Kohli, who were also in pursuit of success, were eliminated from the 2024 Paralympic Games after losing their quarter-final matches on Sunday.

In the semi-final match, Thulasimathi Murugesan defeated Manisha to advance to the final of Women's SU-5 event. Top seed Murugesan secured her victory with a score of 23-21, 21-17 in under 40 minutes, earning India its eighth medal at the 2024 Games.

The opening set was tightly contested, with Manisha saving several game points but failing to capitalize, which allowed Thulasimathi to secure the win with a score of 23–21. In the second game, despite leading 11-10 at the mid-game break, Manisha struggled with errors like net faults and service misses, which ultimately led to her 21-17 defeat, eventually losing the match 2-0.
